From Elisha Hoffman, author and composer of well-known hymns like "Down at the Cross" and "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" comes "Are You Washed in the Blood?" The Salvation Army band loved it so much that the words "Are you washed in the blood?" were incorporated multiple times into a poem commemorating William Booth, Salvation Army's founder.
Interesting history tidbits aside, this upbeat hymn is also serious and thought-provoking, asking vital questions of the one singing. Indeed, there is no other more important question that needs to be answered: Are YOU washed in the blood of the Lamb?
